“And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?” And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into the barracks. The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭23:7-11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because the Lord says, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.” Anywhere the truth is spoken, there will be strife as darkness doesn’t want light shining on it. It’s easy to go along with the world. Christ encourages Paul towards His eternal purpose for all His children. Not only did Paul speak to his current generation, but gave us most of the New Testament with the books he wrote in these journeys. Please pray that we and our friends will speak truth in every circumstance. Please pray for the victims of sex trafficking.
